Mann Mayal (Urdu: من مائل, lit. 'Heart inclined') is a Pakistani romantic drama television series that originally aired on Hum TV on 25 January 2016 to 5 September 2016,[1] and was digitally released on the Amazon Prime and Iflix. It is co-produced by Momina Duraid of MD Productions and Samina Humayun Saeed of Next Level Entertainment, written by Samira Fazal and directed by Haseeb Hassan.[2][3][4][5] Mann Mayal starred Hamza Ali Abbasi as Salahhudin and Maya Ali as Manahil in leading roles.[6]
The series chronicles the lives of Manahil and Salahuddin. They fall in love with each other but cannot meet due to the differences in their social class.[7]
Mann Mayal received largely negative reviews, with critics praising Abbasi's performance and the soundtrack, but intensely criticising the script for clichéd plot, poor portrayal of women, and perpetuation of harmful norms. Despite this, the series was 2016's highest rated drama serial in Pakistan. At the 16th Lux Style Awards, it won two awards out of five nominations.
